LST Referral Process at I-Shou
by Sean McSwain
Level 1 Intervention
Regular Education Intervention
A teacher, parent, or other
concerned party identifies a concern(s) he/she believes is interfering with a student's learning potential. Those concerns are conveyed to the classroom teacher and discussed with the parent.
Teacher reviews cumulative records and checks with previous teacher(s) to gather data about the student’s academic performance and/or behavior needs.
The teacher identifies specific concerns and attempts various instructional strategies or program adaptations to accommodate the student’s individual needs. It’s important tom communicate with the special education teacher and other staff who might be able to suggest different strategies, modifications or accommodations.
Request a hearing and vision screening. If these have not been done within the last calendar year.
Have instructional adaptations provided a satisfactory solution for the problem?
YES, Continue implementing adaptations
NO, Complete LST Request for Assistance
Level 2 Intervention
Assistance from the Learning Support Team
Case manager reviews request for assistance, notifies parents, determines appropriateness of case for discussion, determines if enough level one intervention has been completed, and documents interventions and outcomes.
Case Discussion is held and an Intervention Plan is put into place
Intervention Plan is reviewed on a 2-week basis and adjusted as needed. Interventions are monitored and data is collected to determine degree of success.
If data does not indicate that target goals are being met, the LST can make a recommendation to refer for special education evaluation.
The referring teacher completes the SEN referral form with assistance from the special education teacher and the LST.
All required data and documentation are compiled by the LST (behavior logs, samples of work, attempted strategies, outcomes, test scores etc) and completed referral packet is given to the SEN teacher. A copy is sent to the SEN coordinator for review
SEN coordinator reviews referral packet for both completeness and appropriate/adequate interventions
Is the referral complete with adequate interventions?
YES
NO
Level 3 Intervention
SEN Teacher Begins
Official SEN Referral
The SEN coordinator will initiate the evaluation and eligibility determination process for approved referrals.
When a referral for evaluation is denied, the SEN coordinator will provide parents with a Prior Written Notice (PWN) explaining the reasons for not proceeding with an evaluation.
After the decision has been made to proceed with the evaluation, the SEN teacher will provide a Prior Written Notice (PWN) to the parents indicating a referral for SEN evaluation has been completed and the parents are given a copy of their rights.
A timeline for SEN eligibility determination and placement is established and begins when a signed Consent for Evaluation is obtained. No SEN assessment can begin without parental consent.
The classroom teachers, principal, SEN teacher, parents and student are key members of the IEP team and their involvement in the process is very important.
